I suspect many developers know the truth, at least to some degree. Their boss said "it's only one [more] popup, add it anyway." Repeat ad infinitum

There have been plenty of libraries/tools that got people from "I would like to do foo" to "oh, this tool makes foo possible in under 10 hours, I should start working on foo" in th…

One of the reasons I value SetApp so much for Mac apps is that it's curated and I don't have to worry about filtering a bunch of shady or low-quality apps.

You can divide by zero, but you mayn't.
